Recollections: After solo’ing and getting my license in the Schweizer 2-33, I flew the single-seat 1-26, all at Skysailing gliderport in Fremont, CA (no longer there). Along with the A-10 and the Pawnee, this was the only airplane I flew by myself for the first time. It was a real confidence builder and, I believe, helped me on my way to becoming a Test Pilot.
